  • Dear Friends,
    Welcome on my Channel. In this Video I explain how you could solve the three most common tuning problems you might face with your violin viola or cello or maybe another string instrument with pegs to tune.
    First case: Your peg is not turning smooth
    Second case: Your peg is completely stuck
    Third case: Your peg doesn't keep the tune because is slipping down
    Try to understand what is your case instead of pushing your pegs too much into your poor instrument.
    I try to use easy going ingredients ( except ❣️my lovely ❤️ TUNER system with its extremely handy sound clip which you find on my online shop here: edgar-russ-sou...)
    as hard soap as here on Amazon: amzn.to/2Tb5Pz2
    and chalk amzn.to/2T9BKjh
    but of course if you would come to my workshop I would use very likely peg compound from Hill as you can find on Amazon: here with Prime amzn.to/2BYHbqC
    and here a few cent more economic directly from the producer but actually the same thing: amzn.to/2UdKHVj
    I hope that this video can help you solve your tuning problems!

    Now I have the impulse to travel to Italy, but not to see Venecia or tasting 🍕 but to meet you in person and show you my deep gratitude for your teachings. The more valuable of those, your humbleness.
    Thanks Master.

    Hola, hola, always learning something new 👍🏼. I used graphite, a pencil on my junk of a violin (Suzuki) 😖and it worked. 👍🏼

      I am truly amazed at your knowledge !! If I wasn't so old I would pay an apprenticeship to study under You. I have made one violin from scratch and reworked two others, still cannot play anything other than basic scales. Glad I was keeping my Great Granddaughter today and came across your site while I was listening to Sweet Violin music with her (7 months old).. I believe by her reaction she will play the Violin!

      @@paulsims1764 I advice putting your comment in the main comment section, or maybe emailing maestro. Replies to someone else's comments are often lost in the pile of comments.

      Hi Paul!
      Nothing goes lost here!
      It makes me happy to hear that you like my channel and that you could learn something interesting.
      Enjoy staying with your great granddaughter. And try to make it all the way to Cremona. It isn't that far nowadays to travel and it makes happy as staying with your grandchildren.
      Looking forward to welcome you here in Cremates on a one day.

    Hi Edgar, thanks a lot for your videos. I am a cello student and bought a cello that came with wood pegs (no ebony) and I have had tuning problems for a while. I guess that if I change the actual pegs for ebony pegs, I will solve the tuning problem. What is your opinion? Thanks a lot

    I don't know why my second string break when I tune my violin. I cannot get it in tune.

    What grit sandpaper would you recommend for smoothening out varnishes on a cello?

    • @EdgarRuss
      @EdgarRuss  5 лет назад +1

      If you are not a violinmaker I would definitely NOT recommend anybody to sandpaper his varnish.
      If you are a violinmaker than go ahead. I use sandpaper to finish the varnish from 800 in the very beginning to 1500; sometimes even 2400 (MicroMesh)

    • @EdgarRuss
      @EdgarRuss  5 лет назад +2

      That depend from situation and situation.
      The best answer and the safest is actually don't sandpaper since sandpaper takes away.
      So it really depends what kind of instrument we are talking about and what you are going to do .
      Would you sandpaper your cars door because there is a scratch?
      Your old Bugatti?
      Your Toyota Yaris?
      Or would you go in any case to a professional car painting shop?
      I would prefer you go to a professional shop!
